March Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Am I understanding right that you gain weight right after surgery?

You gain Fluid weight from all the IV fluids...will scare the hell out of you on a scale but resolves over 5-7 days....it is not true body fat.....doctors really shoulders us of that!!!! (And maybe poo if you get backed up!!!)

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 226.6

Hi are you ok. We're you nervous about the surgery to cancel it. Im sorry that happened.

Thanks for asking. I did get scared but I didn't cancel. Doc wants me to come on in two weeks and talk to him about my hernia repair while he's in there.

I gained OVER 20 lbs. after surgery from the IV fluids. Surgery was last Wednesday and today I am actually 1 lb. less than pre-surgery!!! So you do loose it quickly...don't worry!

Pre-surgery:210.5 Post-op:224 1wk p/o: 209.5

Really don't think it's fair that I have to go tomorrow to DMV to replace my license because it expires the day of surgery. Why couldn't it expire next year after the weight loss. Can't have that picture hanging around for the next 10 years. May have to loose my license next year:)

I was just wondering on average how long it took everyone to have their first bowel movement after surgery?

Sorry I didn't check in with everyone yesterday. I had a rough day. I am feeling so much better tonight and I am so proud to be on the losers bench. Swallow test was good and hopefully I will be heading home tomorrow. I pray that all of you are recovering nicely.

Wow!!.. Awesome.. I keep thinking I'm going through this and I'll be the one person who doesn't lose weight.

Aww don't say that! If you follow the diet of not eating there is no way you can't lose weight!! Sending you positive thoughts!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
